My mother Shari Sarah Schmidt served as an ambulance driver in Egypt and Palestine with the ATS. She had come over from Germany in 1936 on one of the last transports of young people. She died in 2001, and my father in 2005, so we do not have many details to add to this request for information. She certainly had a great many stories to tell from her ATS days and left the army with rank of corporal and 'first class mechanic'. My father was beginning to research the background to her unit before he died but didnt get very far. It had a nickname 'Fearfully 50...?' and was one of the units with British officers. Any information would be helpful Many thanks Ruth Facey (nee Whatley)
